This is the life of an antisocial hermit wannabe, who apparently loves traveling, shopping and seeing the world so much that she decided to put her lifetime ambition of being an antisocial hermit on hold, for now.

Noooooooooo

Sereni & Shentel will be increasing their prices starting from 1st February 2012.

Poster released on their blog and Facebook page yesterday.

Nooooooooooooo!!!!! Oh, screaming in front of the laptop is not such a good idea (and my head hurts). Breath in... Breath out... Now let's do some calming yoga poses, downward dog...

Eh, wait, the price increase will start from the month of February, so you have from now until 31st January 2012 to make your purchase (if you don't feel like paying that lil' extra) and before you start running to S&S in panic, not all headbands are affected. Yeay!

The headbands that are NOT affected are:

Akeem

Bunny Ears

Charlotte

Mandy

New Money

Party Hat

The Queen

Zamunda

Borneo Mandy

And the headbands that ARE affected are:

Blair - from RM120 to RM129

Block Party - from RM51 to RM60

Mini Block Party (I think this's new) - RM60

Bow Down - from RM201 to RM207

Hen's Veil - from RM201 to RM207

Ice Ice Baby (Matte/ Shiny) - from RM150 to RM156

Ice Ice Baby (Luxe) - from RM162 to RM168

Kuching Cat - from RM129 to RM135

Ice Ice Baby Mini - from RM120 to RM126

Borneo Blair - RM120 to RM129

Borneo Block - RM51 to RM60

Now, that's not too bad, isn't it? Some headbands will not be affected and those that are affected, the price increase is not that unreasonable. The reasons for the price increase is due to rising cost in materials and labor.

Since I've started advocating the benefits of Sereni & Shentel headbands (in comparison to other headbands) to my friends (who unfortunately, are S&S virgins) some have commented that their headbands are too expensive. I beg to differ. Why? Because I buy whenever there is a promotion. That's what financial experts call smart spending. So far for the month of January I have bought five headbands (I don't know what the financial experts would say about that, but that is beside the point).

Buy one Blair, get another Blair for free. This time I decided to share the promotion with a friend, so we get one Blair each. So, total spending, RM60. Amount saved, RM60 (because a Blair costs RM120).

Total spending, RM120. Amount saved, RM51.

So, for FIVE headbands; total spent, RM360. Amount saved, RM261.

Wow! I actually save a lot (andno it does not matter that my saving is less than my spending). Take that you financial experts! Oh, I almost forgot, I am not affiliated in any way with Sereni & Shentel and they certainly do not pay me commission for every sale that I introduce.

To smart spending habits and me keeping my new year resolution #2, quality purchases over quantity.
